Pitch Pine

Hi, new to the forum and guitar building.I won't be making a cbg for my first build, it will be either a shovel variation or a solid bodied made out of pitch pine,I have access to some quite aged pitch pine pews and am considering turning the end of one of them into the body of a 3 string with an engraved copper sheet for scratchboard.

Does anyone have any experience of pitch pine or similar dense heavy woods and their effect on tone etc?

cheers Tom I have a double coil humbucker in transit with 500K pots and 0.022uF capacitor. a hardtail bridge has also landed.It's going to be fretless since my left hand is mashed on the first two fingers (power tool argumemnts I lost) and I have a soft spot for slide guitar ala Justin Johnson (if only I was 1/10th as good).
